a lucida issue (already looked into)

I've added struts to the text column. This can be turned off with

\setupmathcases[strut=no]

The heights and depths and therefore the size of the curly braces is 
more consistent that way.

I'll clean up those macros (a bit more control and efficiency) when 
we're gone current (remind me).
